UK panel shows and comedy used to be so funny/silly and irreverent.

>>211732704 (OP)
The BBC is owned and run by Marxists

because they've being doing that shit for 20 years and they're all old and phoning it in

>>211732704 (OP)
probably what happened to Aus tv, political correctness killed comedy completely. Only unfunny comedians were allowed.
>>211732751
They also hide lots of funny comedy online, they are assholes

>>211732704 (OP)
is it a dolphin in a bathtub?

>>211732704 (OP)
Because they realised that
1) panel shows are ludicrously cheap, so they could make dozens of them for the cost of one decent comedy
2) the turnover meant that they could easily fill quotas by just cycling whichever crony they wanted to shove in that week
Which was compounded by;
3) the edge master brand of comedian getting troll’s remorse or being forced out
4) the liberal cheerleader brand having to refocus their jokes and all ending up sounding the fucking same

>>211732777
Yeah but where is the new crop of funny comedians, it's all about lesbians and my mom is indian and blablabla....And there's nothing inherently wrong with that but it's just not funny.

Also the 180 Frankie did was fucking pathetic.

I agree. Also there's a feeling of everyone tip toeing about trying not to be as "offensive" which ruins everything.

It was good for the first few seasons.

>>211732906
the thing that mind broke Limmy was him getting passed up to continue his show for some unfunny fuck.
Seemed to be they genuinely were kicking actual funny classic Brit humour out in favour for lamer stuff

Has anyone watched the last few The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, are they any good? I used to love watching those years ago.
>>211733038
Yeah, well that's why I torrent everything.

>>211732914

yes there is

>>211733207
They haven't been good since about 2018
Unwatchable 2020 onwards

>>211733220
I don't care just make it funny. But it's never funny for some reason. The premise shouldn't be the joke.

What was the last great British comedy show? I think maybe some of the early Taskmaster and mid-series WILTY was decent though in fairness I only really watched clips of the latter.

No clue what the last good sitcom or sketch show was. I'd hazard it was something from the 2000s. Maybe Limmy's Show?

>>211733236
Such a shame. Used to anticipate those every year and wait for them to get uploaded on torrent sites or someone to post them "illegally" on Youtube.

I think I saw a snippet from one during the pandemic and they were "social distancing" and it was just a mess.

he hasn't been on uk tv since he was kicked from Bong with Talent. he was hired for the Lie To You xmas special which was filmed a few weeks ago and this was to be his first appearance in several years.
he made Nazi Salutes during the show which upset the jews in the audience so he is all but done on terrestrial tv.

>>211735192
>more shit that has nothing to do with an economic ideology from a century ago
very cool! just keep ignoring your politicians importing hordes of jeets to replace you to make line go up. the country that created and funds the 'Victim of Communism Memorial Foundation' and toppled any remotely left country that didn't play ball with global capital is definitely at the mercy of communists. you are very smart and well informed.

I was a kid and a teenager. I was high. But I regret nothing.

>>211735260

This is incorrect. Off the top of my head, he's been interviewed on various shows including the one show, and he still hosts It'll Be Alright On The Night. ITV haven't dropped him and the BBC keep employing him.

>>211735270

fair enough now you mention it i've seen him on that even though i don't watch it, only flick past it. the article i read about his nazi salutes was saying he wasn't on tv since he left got talent.

Yeah, he hasn't had any huge projects, but he's still popping up on things like nothing ever happened.

It was probably more a case of people crossing the street and ducking into shops to avoid having to politely nod for half an hour as he autistically listed all of the bad things the transes had done over the last month.

Amstell has always been hilarious for being a catty jew, he's diabolical on that show. I ended up seeing his stand up set in the states a decade ago, which was more like a one man show about neuroticism, but it was funny. he kept making fun of some blue haired attention seeker in the audience.

>>211736387
First draft of his autobiography included an entire chapter about losing his virginity to his sister and shagging her until he left home. The publishers made him sign an NDA never to discuss it in public because he was going to torpedo his very lucrative pretend children’s author career (they're all ghostwritten).
His response was "You see, this is exactly the sort of stigma that has to be challenged!"

>>211736552
Really? Jimmy Savile type or 15-16 year olds?

You don't like AJimmy Carr?

>>211736452
>No he actually became that because everyone turned on him
He became that because he wrote an episode of the IT Crowd which featured a trans character and the trans community didn't like it and told him why they didn't like it.
He started off polite and accepting of the criticisms, but eventually decided that he was right and it all snowballed from there.
His fragile ego is the problem. If it wasn't this it would have been something else.

What you probably didn't realize is the comedy shit in UK is a staple of old school variety shows, so we have an industry tradition that dates back centuries and is a part of the UK culture. Panel shows are just a modern (relative to the invention of the TV) take on the old school variety comedy.

How so?

>>211737656
That only makes sense until you realise the format could have been adapted at any point at the BBC for decades before they infested the airways and supplanted more structured shows.
The reason they didn’t was because, despite the fact the comedy circle has always been rife with nepotism and croneyism, the BBC actually used to hold to the advantage of not being beholden to the lowest common denominator by making a variety of shows that could focus on quality rather than pandering.
They’ve existed for plenty of time, but they didn’t always used to dominate due to being cost effective.

>music hall shows, which were like vaudeville
This shit has been in the UK for centuries, part of the culture. So when TV was invented it would have been adapted to TV, and over time they changed the format for TV rather than imitating actual variety shows, which eventually turned into panel shows.
Its why for example we have in the UK the "floodlights" comedy troupe shit in the oxford unis (and other places) because that type of variety shit is a UK staple.
I live in leicester and there is a comedy festival each year, same as in edinburgh. This shit is UK culture and panel shows, again, are an adaptation of that for TV.
Funny too because the carry on movies were modern take on variety shows which most, if not all of the comedians came from variety shows.
Its inherent in UK culture.
Coincidentally even peter kay did a sit com about it, because he himself comes from the variety culture.
We also have a yearly variety show on TV which the queen attends (of did last time I watched TV) called the "royal variety show"
It is THAT ingrained in UK culture.
>>211737826
>comedy circle has always been rife with nepotism and croneyism
apparently it is also very competitive where comedians are often cunts to each other as they are all competing for what is essentially very few jobs.
Panel shows I suppose gives them all a bigger pool of work.

Funny actually because in like 2013 for 6 months I watched TV after not watching TV for over a decade and all I watched really was E4 and dave which is pretty much all sit coms and panel shows.
If I was forced to watch TV I could watch that shit all day.

Think it was 2014 when the head of the BBC mandated that there were to be no more all white, all male panels on comedy shows. You couldn't watch a single one without it being watered down with shite like Sarah Millican, Nina Conti, Jo Brand etc. Since then the regulars have become even less funny and extra preachy.

everything is shit now

>>211740020
>Sarah Millican
>Jo Brand
They were all right all things considered, I'd much rather have them than what is currently being casted now...

>>211740212
Yeah, that's the problem, they had to hire loads of talentless thots to maintain equality because they were forced to

>>211739535
You're not a bad guy, Nish.

>>211740306
There was nothing wrong with having a dumb bimbo every once in a while so everyone can make fun of her...but yeah the whole quota thing actually destroyed everything.

>>211740489
There's always been talented female comedians, but never as many as male ones, nothing to do with opportunity, just ability

>>211733470
I read his autobiography in 2010 - he was always a hardcore leftist and I mean hardcore decades before the current wave. Leftists like Rowling and Gervais have been cast aside and labelled "nazis" but Boyle just keeps up with their ideology effortlessly.

>>211742367
Yeah but he used to make fun of everything. Now he apologizes to blacks and gays like a little bitch.
Most people were socially liberal back then, it seems like after the SWJ chimp out at Trump everything changed, people took sides because corporations and governments started pushing the agenda very hard, they stopped being subtle and straight up started demonizing and ruining people's lives.

it's always bizarre to me seeing people online talking about frankie boyle turning left. the working class comedian from glasgow was left leaning? o lawd! are they all underage or not from the uk and think telling a rude/offensive/sweary joke can only be done by heckin based right wingers?

>>211742605
Nobody ever claimed that ITT. The thread is about them completely surrendering to the agenda and sanitizing everything to the point it's not funny anymore, everyone is tip toeing and afraid to make jokes.

As I said, almost everyone was left back then and people didn't have a problem with it until they started apologizing and pandering.

>>211742587
To me it felt more like a reaction to online discourse and twitter in particular becoming more influential. In the early 2010s I used to get annoyed at the BBC trying to push everyone toward their twitter channels, but more and more media insiders were spending time there and those heavily progressive circles that were rife at the time really accelerated in influence.
Corporations and governments were if anything a little late to the party on that stuff, but they swung hard once the momentum had built up.

Came here just to post something like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2z-AdzgKjY

I am an Anglo(-American) and have never seen a complete panel show but feel I understand them pretty well now.

>>211742979
Dolphin in a bathtub is a joke about Paul Merton specifically, rather than panel shows in general.

>>211732704 (OP)
name one current thing that's still funny

quotas, and guidelines. You aren't allowed to just be funny on the BBC anymore.

>>211743174
I like "I Think You Should Leave" with Tim Robbins.

>>211743205
I am.

>>211733305
Toast of London is okay

>>211743205
I actually didn't know about the guidelines and the quotes, everything makes a lot more sense now. They are not even subtle anymore, they just straight up dictate it. Grim.

>>211743289
oh yea, that's decent

>>211733305

Frankie used to be funny as fuck then he went woke.

>>211742605
There's a huge distinction between being old left and nu left.
If you still identify as a leftist, you are standing for significantly different positions to what you were 20 years ago.
It's no longer "I think poor people should have a chance in life, and maybe I hate the Royals". Now it's "I literally (and figuratively) support the reinstating of blasphemy laws".

Amstell is probably the first comedian I heard openly admit to spending a lot of time on Internet forums. Also one of the first "famous" people to reference conspiracy theories. Of course then Cum Town came around and now every comedian with a podcast just talks about Epstein all day.

>>211743289
Gilly and Keevs was pretty funny also, The Shane Gillis sketch thing.

>>211743931
Nick is so funny man...some legendary skits on that podcast.

>>211736131
His biggest mistake was simping for feminists. The TERFS were never going to support him like they do Rowling because in the end their ideology is just hating men. He should have just become a Chud.

>>211744097
The irony is feminists and SJW's created chuds.
All of this shit could've been avoided. Oh well...

>>211744045
Cum Town is like Nirvana. Legacy ruined by hundreds of shitty imitators.

>>211744287
Yeah...nothing an ever top that. I know it's cliche to say but it straight up ruined comedy for me for a while lol. The dynamic between them was like lightning in a bottle. I still will put on an episode sometimes while I'm running or working out.

>>211743529

It's a shame that TAFS didn't pick up fast enough, I wish they continued with the sketches, It sucks that Nick left.

>>211737103
QRD?

>>211734536
He was funny when he was unhappy and outside the media sphere he was cruel about. Getting fully absorbed into the upper-class london meedja Nathan Barleys and meeting the people he made fun of, combined with marrying and having kids with her off Blue Peter destroyed his edge because he felt guilty / didn't want to risk his career any more.

At any rate his best work was at PC Zone.

>>211745858
Have you watched it recently, because it's just haha pop culture reference pop culture reference pop culture reference

I fully thought the "tranny obsessed" thing was an exagerration but he really DOES think of them all day, ended up getting divorced because he was constantly talking about how much he hates trannies and neglecting his kids. Now all he does is randomly reply to people on twitter and call them either trannies or anti-semites. Genuinely mad that he wrote Father Ted.

We grew up. Things haven't changed too much, only that you were young and impressionable, and everything was new and exciting. Now I'm older I've realised that pretty much all popular culture is for children and morons, created to make money, satisfy the egos of disgusting narcissists and most importantly, control the population through propaganda.

>>211736131
>>211736316
Fuck off fatso
>get's new obsession, throws away his family and career claiming he's standing up for the dating preferences of fucking lesbians or something, demands everyone he knows throw away their careers for his new obsession too, they decline, goes insane when he realises he can't cancel people like he used to be able to
Linehan used to talk about how no one ever liked him at school and he was obsessed with always becoming popular so he could bully people, he's a piece of shit and he got what he deserved

>>211747618
>>211748874
see this for example

>Genuinely mad that he wrote Father Ted.
Not on his own

>>211740850
He did a joke about the queen being so old that her pussy was haunted and got cancelled for a while. He was obviously given the choice of parroting the agenda or getting the Jerry Sadowitz treatment.

>>211748911
he was pals with some of the sharpest comedy writers britain had to offer and to see him squander it over trannies is pretty sad

>>211749125
11 does do that tho

>>211741058
>>211741493
is it guilt over being wealthy that makes wealthy scots go woke. they are trying to hold onto their non-middle class roots and showing they still understand what it is like to be from a new town council estate.

>>211739535

>her "funny story" is that her dad wants to fight the people that think hes a psycho war criminal
>her intention is for us to come away from this video thinking he was in the right / think she's charming in some way
And the entire show is clapping like seals at it and it's not even remotely funny. WHO IS CLAPPING AT THIS SHITE.

I'll see shit like this and get reminded that The Rest Is Politics podcasts have in-person events that somehow sell out tickets.

>>211748911
>Genuinely mad that he wrote Father Ted
That's pathetic

>>211749125

Linehan was THE most rabid 'woke' faggot on twitter, he finally had the only thing he ever wanted, a platform to bully and browbeat people and his only argument was that he had more followers than whoever he was arguing with (where he was without exception in the wrong about literally everything). He was too drunk on his own farts to see how far the Overton window shifted on trannies and that he couldn't criticise them just like he would never have dreamt of criticising jews or muslims or any other protected class. This led him to go literally insane with rage and torpedo his entire life, his sperging was so bad that he appears to suffer from early-onset Alzheimers. Even after losing everything the only thing he seemed to care about was getting his twitter account back. He does not care about actual women in his life like his daughter or wife so there is no reason to think he cares about r/lesbianism either, he is just a fucking idiot

You are totally fucking wrong about everything you are saying, you are obviously totally ignorant of the situation as it actually unfolded and you have been corrected by people telling you the truth multiple times, shut up and fuck off you cretin.
